MON POV
Lumipas Ang mga araw at ni anino ni Sam ay Hindi ko Makita, si scar Naman ay busy daw sa divorce papers, ako namn ay busy na din sa company. Pero ngayong araw ay lunes na Kaya may hearing.
Kaya heto ako ngayon naghahanda sa pagpunta sa korte.
"Boss? Pede bang Kaming sumama ni xianna?"
Pumasok na pala si shin dito sa office di ko manlang namalayan.
"Are you sure? How about your works??" Takang tanong ko mga Bandang alas dos na Kasi ng hapon, at 2:30 Naman Ang hearing.
"Syempre di pa kami tapos" agad nitong Sabat, Kaya tumaas Ang kilay ko.
"EDI dito Lang kayo, trabaho unahin niyo" casual Kung sagot
"Luh boss Naman, Pede namang mamaya nalang eh"maktol niy
"Walng mamaya beh" tawa ko
"Hays si boss talaga, tapos na trabaho namin, kami pa ba? Astig kami eh!" Hambog na pagmamalaki nito
"Oh eh nasan ba si xianna?"
" Andon sa office niya boss, hinihintay ako Charizzz"
There's something fishy between this two.
"Oh siya pwede Naman kayong sumama" honestly? I sounded liked mother, damn, I'm getting older each day passed.
"Thanks boss, hintayin ka nalang namin sa hallway" tango Lang ang sinagot ko at Agad itong Umalis sa office at ipinagpatuloy ko Naman Ang paghahanda.
Nang matapos Ang ginagawa ko ay Umalis na ako Ng office at nakasabong ko Yung dalawa sa hallway naghihintay.
"Let's go" sumunod Naman Ito saakin papuntang parking lot.
Sumakay kami sa kotse, at pinaandar iyon papunta sa lugar Kung saan gaganapin Ang hearing.
Honestly?, Kinakabahan talaga ako eh, I'm scared of how this is really would turn out?, I don't know, I feel Im regretting this, like I don't want this, all I want is to go home with my wife and cuddle with her.
I just Hope this didn't happen and this whole thing is just a dream and if someone slap me I would wake up.
But aside from that, im actually happy to be out of this marriage thing because I can finally love myself without even worrying with others especially to my soon to be ex wife.
I will finally be free out of her grasp and I can finally move one and live my life with someone who'll love for who I am. And everything that I do for that someone will be worth it.
I can finally have kids, but it felt wierd thinking to have kids from other woman aside from Sam. Maybe, I just really love her that much?. I don't know.
I'm still hurt from what happened weeks ago, of course who can move one with the shit they pulled up?. They ALMOST HAVE SEX! And are already naked, if I didn't walk in, I'm so sure something had happened.
Enough with that, This past few days, I've been thinking about not cutting ties with my parents, they are still my parents after all. But that doesn't mean I already forgive them.
"Lost in thought's boss?" Xia interrupted.
"Yes, sorry" I quietly replied.
"It's okay to feel that way boss, being in the court is hard, we understand you, and whatever you feel we're always her for you.....no alcohol though" shin is so sincere but I wanted to laugh at the last one.
"Your right, thanks guys"
"No problem boss"-shin & xia
"Yes, let's go" I said and we get out of my car Then started walking on the hallway through the court room where our divorce will be approved.
'i hope so'
———
Nang makarating na ako ay nakita ko na kakarating Lang nina Sam at ang pamilya Niya pati na Rin palmilya ko.
Narito na rin Ang judge at mga abogado na naghihintay sa pagdating namin. Tsaka mga taga supporta pero kaunti Lang Naman Yung tao.
Nang Makita nila kaming dumating ay agad Kaming pinaupo sa unahan, katabi ko si scar at si xianna at shin Naman ay magkatabi sa kabilang gilid ko.
Maya-maya pa ay nagsalita na Ang judge at sinimulan Ang hearing.
"Good afternoon Ladies and gentlemen we invited you here to witness the upcoming divorce of Mrs. Mon Trevillion And Mrs. Sam veil lennon Trevillion" Formal na Sabi Ng judge.
"May I know who is the Lawyer of miss Mon?"
Kaagad namang tumaas Ng kamay si scarlet at sininyasang magpakilala.
"Good afternoon everyone my name is Scarlett Yrle Taylor the chosen attorney of mrs. Mon Trevillion" sagot ni scar
"How about Mrs. Sam veil lennon Trevillion?"-judge
"Good afternoon everyone my name is Avril ryle Lennon the chosen attorney of mrs. Sam veil lennon" shit? Kailan pa bumalik si ryle?
Si ryle Ang pinsan ni Sam na Isa Rin sa mga naging kaibigan ko nung makasal at nagsasama kami ni Sam, pero Umalis siya papunta sa ibang bansa para Doon ipagpatuloy Ang pag-aaral nito sa law school. At ngayon attorney na siya.
Nabalik ako sa ulirat Ng sabihin ni scar na Pumunta ako Doon sa upuan malapit sa judge para magpahayag Ng saloobin. At agad Naman akong sumunod.
"Where were you around 11:00 pm on June 16, 2020?" -tanong ni scar
"I'm my house, That's when I cought my wife and brother almost having s*x, she even handed me a divorce papers that night, so I took it and call my friend who is also a lawyer, we met at my condo and explain to her the situation. A week later, she took it back and hang out with us, but I'm desperate to do this divorce and I will do it no matter what/how it takes." walang emosyon Kung Saad
Maraming Tao Ang napasinghap dahil Doon. Di Naman maipinta Ang mukha ni Sam at ni Dion pati na Rin pamilya ni Sam.
"So you set divorce, but now she's taking it back? Why would she take it back?" Tumango Lang ako sakanya.
"I don't know what came into her, but I don't care about that anymore, all I want is to have this divorce done as soon as possible" I said
"your honor, my client has the right to set a divorce because in this case she is the victim and she also have the right to put her wife and brother in jail, I hope you'll grant it"-saad ni scar sa judge
"You may take a sit attorney, now let's hear the other side" Saad Ng judge
Maya-maya pa ay nagsimula na Ang hearing sa side Nina Sam.
"Is it true that you had sex with your wife's brother?" Tanong ni ryle
"No" Walang emosyong Saad ni Sam
'The hell?calm yourself Mon'
How dare can she do that?.
"Where were you around 11:00 pm in July 16, 2020?"
"In the bar" she said nonchalantly
"What are you doing at the bar?"-ryle
"Drinking"
"Your honor my client is at the bar, how can she be on the house that day? Maybe Mrs, Mon trivellion is just hallucinating or it was her brothers girlfriend or friend that day, she caught them having s*x, so this divorce doesn't make sense, I suggest that they just need to clear things between them" Saad Naman sa judge ni ryle, I look at her like she's crazy but she just ignored me, damn.
——
"ITS NOW TIME TO PROVE YOUR INFORMATION's BEFORE I DECIDE, you have 1 hr. And 30 minutes"-judge
At sinimulan na nga iyon sa akin;
"So Mrs Mon, Based on what you said 'You caught your wife having s*x with your brother?' am I right?" napatango Naman ako Kay ryle.
"I investigated about you, and based on my investigation, you hated you brother because he's the favorite son of your parents? And your relationship with your wife is unstable! So there's a possibility that you just made some awful story for both of them, so that you can a revenge to your brother!" Seryosong Saad ni ryle.
'what the fuck? So they are really holding on into me? Damn you Sam' naiinis ako sa pinagsasasabi niya, ni Wala Naman siya room Ng mangyari Yun.
"Yes, that's true that I hated my brother but that's not a reason for me to take revenge" inis Kung Saad
"Yes that's not a reason, But the question is, how can you be so sure that what you saw that day is not a hallucination and the fact that your tired and stressed from your company added!"
"Im very sure that what I saw is real and I'm not hallucinating" I said nonchalantly
"Oh really?? I knew that was not enough evidence so I investigated further, and based on the investigation you had this disease called 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 three years ago" nanlaki ang mga Mata ko at napasinghap Naman Ang lahat sa nalaman nila.
(A/n; 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 refers to the visual hallucinations caused by the brain's adjustment to significant vision loss. It occurs most often among the elderly who are more likely than any other age group to have eye conditions that affect sight, such as age-related macular degeneration)
"Yes that's true, but is was cured before we get married—"
"but are you really sure that your disease is fully cured?"she cut me off
"Objection your honor"-scar
"I...but i can asure you that I what I saw was real—"
"but you don't know that your disease is fully cured right?"
"Objection your honor"-scar
"Quiet" -judge
Agad namang nanahimik Ang lahat.
"Continue the statement"-judge
"Mrs. Trevillion is not sure if her disease is fully cured, how can we be so sure that what she saw is real that night?, Even her parents denied about this issue and her brother, so what's the point of getting divorce if there's no complications? Divorce doesn't make sense they just need to be alone and get a peaceful life." damn you ryle Napatingin ako Kay scar at nanghihingi Ng tulong pero ngumiti Lang Ito Kaya nangunot Ang noo ko.
"Okay, questioning for you is done, now let's hear the side of Ms. Sam Trevillion"-judge
SAM POV
I know that after this hearing,Mon will definitely hate me. I'm sad about that but I had no choice, I wanted to do this, I don't want to divorce her.
She's everything I want, and besides I'm gonna do everything to find the culprit. That person wants us to separate for a long time. I know that. I can feel it.
Ako na Ang susunod na tatanongin kaya naman, umayos na ako Ng upo.
"So, your said you were in the bar that night?" Tumango Lang ako dahil GALING Naman talaga ako sa bar.
That night everything is blurry. I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like I've been drugged.
"How will you prove that your in the bar that night?"-Scarlet
"My friends can prove that"
Yes, my friends and I go to the bar, they are the one's who invited me.
"So who is the girl they are talking about that Mrs, Trevillion's brother's having affair with?" Taas kilay nitong tanong, Alam Kung naiinis siya at matatalo, Kaya Naman napangisi ako Ng palihim.
"I don't know what she's talking about, im not in the house so why would I know?" Thats a smart question but too bad I'm smarter than her.
Buti nalang at matalino ako Kung Hindi baka Kung ano pang nangyari. Actually I don't have any memories of what Happened that night. Dion only explains to me after my drunken state. And he said he felt terrible. And that night he's also drunk but surprisingly he can remember what happened but me?. Nothing, I remembered nothing.
"Is it true that you were having affair with Mr. Trevillion?"
"No, we're a good friend's" we are friends and I'm not gonna betray Mon, cause im falling for her those days, then reason we have fight is because of my jelousy and her brother is always there, and he advised me to her her space.
"Do you know about the disease of your wife?" Ah yes, I'm her wife of course.
I know that she has that disease, because the day we get married I overheard her talking with her doctor friend about her disease.
"Yes"
"What time did you arrive in the house that night?" Okay smartass
"12:00 in the morning" napaisip Naman siya.
How would I know? If don't even remember every single details from that night? I don't even know that my friends dropped me of it wouldn't be with my wife's parents!.
"You said your a good friends with Mr, Trevillion which is the brother of Mrs Trevillion, then how can you be so sure that it's just a friendly relationship?"
"I'm very sure that I don't have any affair with my brother in law—"
"What time did you go in the bar with your friends?" Smart move scar, sa tingin mo ba mapapaamin mo ako sa ganyan? Eh Wala nga akong naalala?
"9:00 pm"
"How many hours did you and your friends spend in the bar?"-scar
"3 hours"
"When did you arrive at your house?" Sabi ko na eh uulitin niya, hayss buti nalang ayos Ang brain ko.
"12:00 a.m"
"Okay you may step down now mrs, may I call the friends of Mrs Sam?" Agad namang Pumunta sa unahan sina cynthia at Zasha. At ako Naman ay bumaba.
"So, is it true that your with Mrs, Sam that night?"
"Yes/yeah"
"What time did you guys arrived" at the house of Mrs Sam?"-scar
"12:00/ around 12:00"
"What did you do in the bar with mrs. Sam?"
"Get drunk"-zasha
"How many hours did you spend on drinking?"
"3hrs/ yeah 3hrs"-tsk Wala kayong makukuha Jan ahhaha.
"Where did you sleep that night?"
"At our houses, we simply dropped Sam off that night and left"-cynthia
"Good you can step down now"-scar
"May I call the parents of Mrs Trevillion?" Agad Namang Pumunta Ang mga magulang ni Mon sa unahan.
"So Mr. And Mrs. Trevillion, do you know what is happening in the house that night?"
"No/no"-Mon's parents
"Where were you that night around 11:00 pm July 16 2020?"
"In Mon's house"
"But how come that you don't know what is happening that night?"
"We also arrived at 11:00 p.m and we heard a car dropping by and Mon suddenly appeared and got their room"
"How come that you arrived late? Mon said that you are on the vacation, so what/where did you do that late?"
"We are taking care of something especial for Mon"-yes that's true they are taking care of something for Mon. FOR US.
"And what is that something? Is it really that important that you were late that night?"
"Yes, it's very important for her"
*Tok*tok*Tok* tunog ng pampokpok ni judge
"Based on what I noticed, it is clear that no one is having affair so no divorce is gonna happen I suggest that y'all just Talk it out, that's all ladies and gentlemen goodbye" Sabi Ng judge
Walang tigil ako sa pagngiti Ng malamang Wala Ng divorce ang magaganap. Napatingin ako Kay scarlet at Kay Mon.
Scarlet's face is priceless. Habang ang kay Mon Naman ay Wala man Lang emosyon.
'sabi ko Naman sa inyo gagawin ko Ang lahat hindi lang matuloy Ang divorce na yan'
Dali-dali silang Umalis kasama sina shin at xianna. Habang kami Naman ay Pinuntahan Ang judge.
Kinongrats ako Ng parents at kuya ni Mon pati na Rin si ryle.
"Thank you Uncle" Sabi ko at ngumiti Kay judge.
"Your welcome my favorite pamangkin" sagot nito at ngumiti at ngumiti Naman ako pabalik.
Yes the judge is my uncle, the name is Rio Sevi Lennon Trivino. I'm he's favorite pamangkin Kaya di niya ako matitiis.
Di siya kilala ni Mon dahil sa 3 years Naman naming pagsasama ay di ko Naman pinakilala sakanya lahat Ng kamag-anak ko. Worth it Naman, Yan tuloy Wala siyang Alam sa nangyari.
"By the way uncle pwede ba tayong mag-usap?" Agad Naman itong tumango
"Sure why not? Tara Doon" Aya nito papunta Doon sa medyo tago at Walang makakarinig.
Pagkarating na pagkarating namin roon ay agad akong nagsalita.
"Uncle, Alam Kung madami Kang connection, Kaya gusto ko sanang ipaimbestigahan mo Ang tunay na nangyari sa bar at Kung paano ako napunta sa Kama at si Dion na hubad, Wala Kasi talaga akong maalala, Hindi Naman ako buntis Kaya imposibleng may nangyari samin" mahabang paliwanag ko.
"Okay iha ako na Ang bahala Doon, nagpahinga ka nalang at dalawin Yung asawa mo, bahala ka baka maunahan ka Ng Iba" pabirong Sabi nito Kaya natawa Lang ako.
"Sige uncle, uwi na kami"
"Sige ingat"
'makakahinga n Rin ako Ng maluwag' Saad ko at Umalis na kami.
Nang makarating sa bahay ay agad na nagpahinga.
'this is such a tiring day' I said and everything went black.
